Los Angeles Crimes Street Art

Happened upon this mural going up in LA, in the alley right across the street from Pink's Hot Dogs (Melrose and La Brea). The artists were busy working on it and what they had done was pretty cool. Not sure how the LA Times will feel about it, tho... Can't wait to see it finished.

Crono Street Artists: Painting Portugal

Crono is a Portugese Urban Art project with the intention of pairing some of the best street artists with huge, beautiful (abandoned) buildings in Lisbon. The idea already has had a significant impact on the ‘look’ of the city and will continue to provide some amazing street art.

Amy Kollar Anderson's New Mural, Progress Shots

Amy just completed this uplifting and fun mural and sent a link to her step-by-step blog. Nice to see all the layers and progress during the process. I love the little olive bulb flowers...

Visit it here.

And below is a killer new work from her site, titled Intoxicating...
and it certainly is!

Eye Candy Clown Mural by Ezra, Berkeley

This mural was in progress the first time I drove by. Oakland artist Ezra Li Eismont was hard at work on a glorious clown. A great piece of professional street art, bold and happy-creepy. I thought it was just art-for-art's-sake, but stupid me! Ended up it is an ad for Adult Swim. Shoulda' known better... however as far as ads go, at least they hired an artist and did a really nice job. Makes a boring brick wall so much nicer, let's hope all the taggers leave it alone... Good job, Ezra!

Berlin Wall Art Gallery

Just blogged and posted a whole bunch of fantastic art from the Berlin Wall. This green monster dude fits the Halloween season very well.
